Ratliff, Bernadeau and guard Nate Livings, a former LSU player, were sidelined for the first camp workouts Sunday. Livings was placed on the non-football injury list with a foot problem. All three are projected starters.

Ratliff passed the conditioning test despite the injury. Bernadeau still has to get through the test to be cleared.

The Pounceys were photographed during their recent birthday party in Miami wearing caps that read “Free Hernandez.” The former New England Patriots tight end played with the Pounceys at Florida in 2007-09. Hernandez is charged with murder in Massachusetts and has pleaded not guilty.

“I’m just here to focus on football,” he said.

Later he added, “We get paid a lot of money to act a certain way, and that’s the way we should be acting.”

Maurkice Pouncey, an All-Pro center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, said last week on his Twitter account that he understood the seriousness of the situation and regretted making light of it.

Also, Dolphins top draft pick Dion Jordan sat out the start of training camp because his surgically repaired right shoulder has not fully healed. He was placed on the non-football injury list.

The defensive end/linebacker from Oregon, the No. 3 overall pick, wore uniform No. 95 but watched the first practice from the sideline. Coach Joe Philbin declined to say how long Jordan is likely to be sidelined.
